How to prevent binding of a particular struct field?

[singh-gursharan]

how can we prevent bind function to bind some form fields to the struct fields?
For example
type student struct{
ID int form:"-"
Name string form:"name"
Details string form:"details"
}

Here i do not want bind function in echo to bind id from the create student request to ID. but if i post like. -:1 name:student details:student

it will bind - value to ID which i do not want.

And if i skip form tag as shown below
type student struct{
ID int
Name string form:"name"
Details string form:"details"
}

then do a post request

id:1 name:student details:student

now the bind function will bind id with ID.

the problem is I am not able to skip binding for ID field

Just dont include the ID inside the type.
If you want to include the ID a simple workaround would be to create a temporary student ts := student{} bind data to the temporary student and then make your student type s := student{} and copy only the fields you want s.Name = ts.Name and s.Details = ts.Details

Please see my comment
It contains some examples to show how binding works on Echo. Also at the end there is a promise (😉) of a new PR adding a configuration to the default Binder to turn on/off the automatic binding by struct field name. Please let me know if that could be useful to you and I'll try to come up with something.
